The Blog for Solar Installers

Is it better to make 1 perfectly accurate quote or 10 somewhat accurate quotes?

This is a very common question, and the answer is that sales is a numbers game. The more quotes you get out there, the more likely you are to make sales! If it takes you the same amount of time to make 10 average quotes as it does to make one perfect one, then make and send 10!

It is better not to send out any truly inaccurate quotes if possible, but they do not need to be 100% perfect on the first contact. It is always possible to make revisions once you have piqued the interest of your potential buyer.

How long has Solargraf been in business?

Solargraf was founded in 2013 as a solar lead generation company in Montreal, Canada. As that side of the business grew, the profit was reinvested into the sales platform. Since the product was so unique and effective, it gained clients and grew very quickly. In 2017, Sofdesk (Solargraf's parent company) was backed by a Series A investment of $3 million from EnerTech and BDC Capital!

How is Solargraf different and better than the other software options? 

The #1 difference between Solargraf and the competition is that it was built by installers, for installers. We have installed solar, so we understand the process, challenges, and pain points first hand. Solargraf is designed with all of the necessary components to make solar sales easier and more efficient.

Solargraf is everything you need for the solar sales process in one application. Lead generation, quote generation, drawings, permits, and project management. Everyone in your company can be on the same page thanks to unlimited users, because we know how important each member of your team is to the business!

Can you display your own financing partner in Solargraf instead of the ones we provide?

Yes, you absolutely can! Solargraf offers financing options for your clients out of the box, but if you already have partners or you find one after a while of using the app, you can choose to display your own partner.

How do you train salespeople to be as effective as possible?

When you have unlimited users of your sales software, you have to ensure that they all know how to properly use it to close sales. This can be difficult, so we work hard to help you help your salespeople become as effective as possible!

There is a comprehensive library of support and training videos within the Solargraf App. Short videos on every topic you could possibly want to know about. The best way to ensure your salespeople understand how to use Solargraf is by showing them the support section and allowing them to explore it on their own and teach themselves. 

And how can I sign up?

Yes, Solargraf offers free demos to any solar installer. All you have to do is go to this page and sign up! You can also contact hello@solargraf.com or call 1-888-997-1101!
